I have spent tha last 8 days in the beautiful centre of our country – Alice Springs. Actually more than 4 of those 8 days were spend getting to and from the Alice with 4 other pastors on my trusty Yamaha XJ900 motorbike.

It was cold but it was great!

Pastors Havelberg (Zion, Gawler), Schuppan, Victor Harbour), Minge (St Paul, Enfield), Mogg (Port Lincoln) and myself rode up to pastors Conference and Convention of the SA/NT District, held for the very first time ever in Alice Springs. We met at Port Augusta, stayed the night there, then stayed at Cadney Station and then on to Pastors Conference at Yurara College.

Three of us came back together and the other two stayed on to take a look at Uluru.
